No. The egg (nit) is glued onto the base of the hair, near your scalp. It can't fall off accidentally. When it hatches (becomes a nymph), it needs to feed several times per day from the scalp (by sucking blood). An adult head louse can not live away from the human head for more than a couple of days at most, so newly hatched baby lice would have almost no chance of survival without a supply of blood to eat even if they did hatch off the head.

No. Lice can only lay eggs in hair. Well the ears to but only hair. The only time a egg would be in your ear if it would have got moved there from you. They only lay eggs in hair. The egg would't have hatched anyhow, they only hatch in their envoirment they would die before birth.

I guess...

Get the lice off your head before you find out

once eggs hatch they have to feed within minutes of birth so if they are on the carpet or wherever else they would die

No, unfortunately. When the eggs are laid they are glued to the hair shaft. They are a little easier to get out after they hatch but until they are combed out they'll hang on there.

Why does lice lay eggs on people?

Lice lay eggs, known as nits, on people because the warmth and proximity to a blood supply found on the scalp provide them with an ideal environment for their survival and development. Laying eggs on the hair close to the scalp ensures that the newly hatched lice have immediate access to blood for feeding and further reproduction.
